Yosemite

We spent spring break in a very cold and some times rainy Yosemite. Jake hiked and hiked, and on the 4th day, it was very cold, and he just wouldn't do it. He had no intention of hiking in the cold anymore.We are at the bridge by lower Yosemite Falls
In the meadow by the Awanhee.

Easter Morning

Mattie and Jake sure were lucky this morning. The Easter Bunny brought them tons of things they will need for the long drive to Yosemite tomorrow and lots of things for the hiking we will be doing.

Scooters and Bikes

Mattie has a Princess Scooter and a pink bike, Jake loves to do whatever his sister is doing, so this means he spends a lot of time on a princess scooter. So this morning I went and got Jake a boy scooter. When Mattie and Jake came home I told Jake I had a present for him, and then Mattie said and where is mine? I simply told her I got her brother a boy scooter, so her present was that her brother would leave hers alone. This was good enough for her.

Dave has been talking to Mattie about removing her training wheels. Mattie doesn't think it is a good idea, she isn't even six. :)

Sleeping Jake

Jake was so cute the other day during his nap, I decided to take some pictures. (Jake had to put his hat on in order to take his nap the other day. If you know his dad, you know why)Jake is thinking, 'seriously mother, pictures now'.

Easter Bunny

We went to see the Easter bunny at fashion island this week. Jake had to think about getting on this bunny's lap, but he did it unassisted and not screaming, smiling would have been too much.

Why I am the best mom ever (for today anyways)

While we were in Utah this Christmas, Mattie and Jake learned to love air hockey. So when I saw this little kid air hockey table, Dave and I thought we might get some pretty good use of it. They were both so surprised and have to be ripped away from the table.

Play Date

Mattie had her friend Skylar over today. They made cookies and crayons and then they got to play outside. Even Jake had fun.

My quiet morning

Everyone was up and done with breakfast by 6 am this morning. This happens all the time. It makes for a long time until kindergarten at 8. This morning i was doing my sit ups and everyone was so quiet. I was so grateful there was no screaming no yelling and no drumming. Well I went to check on everyone and found mattie putting her stuffed animals to bed and found Jake. I guess he had gotten bored with using paper, so he upgraded to body art. I can only blame this on he and I watching taboo on discovery channel last night about body modifications.

Luckily we have a household rule: ONLY WASHABLE MARKERS ANY WHERE JAKE CAN REACH, CLIMB, SEE OR DESIRE.

Another Tooth is Gone

Mattie has had another lose tooth. It finally fell out while she was eating marshmallow monday night at bella terra.

Here is a photo of her money from the tooth fairy.Mattie has requested and directed this posting

Mattie

Mattie has been concerned that she will never get to be student of the month. I have tried to listen to her concerns and remind her that she is wonderful and that there are 30 kids and only 9 months of school. Well she did it, she is the student of the month. Now her only worry is that she won't get to be student of the week :)
Mattie got her 5th award today. We are not sure what she gets these for but she tells she got another one again today. Mattie really wanted this up on the blog today, so her aunties could see her.
